I like to view customer experience as a combination of themes and capabilities that ensure the right product is designed for a problem, and the right set of integrated services are designed to support customers during various phases of solution ownership.
There are 14 common journeys I consider to be the starting point. Each of them have a predetermined map incorporating the objectives that a customer must reach each step of the way. This starting point ensures that no journey, or experiencer is overlooked.

After Voice of the Customer (VoC), nothing is more closely associated with Customer Experience Management (CXM) than a customer journey map (CJM).
By creating a visual depiction of the steps that customers take in an experience, including how customers feel after interactions, CX leaders can diagnose problems and design new experiences for the future.

The West seems to have a rather fascinating obsession with the individual. We write our addresses starting with a person and expand out until we get to a world view, which makes little sense when you consider that anyone functionally using that address must read to the end to even know where to start. This is a pattern we see in many things — from the way we tell stories to the way we design infrastructure and services. So naturally, it's through this lens that brands often solve customer experience challenges.

Customer experience (CX) is more important today than ever. Providing an exceptional customer experience consistently, though, is hard. Measuring customer experience and tying it to tangible business outcomes is harder still.
The first step in your journey to improve CX is to measure customer experience. While you will be familiar with widely known customer experience metrics such as Net Promoter Score (NPS)® or Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), how and when you calculate these metrics, as well as how they influence your actions, can have an big impact.

If you’ve ever worked in the service industry I’m sure the chant “the customer is always right” still rings in your head. Customer service and the customer journey are not new concepts. However, the medium that customer service is carried out through today is new. With the eruption and growth of the internet over the past 20 years – the entire customer journey has been rewritten – no matter how long you’ve been in business or what industry you’re in. As the way we do business evolved, the customer experience evolved with it. But why has it been so difficult for businesses to transition?
